  1. Thanks guys... Now how and where do I find the VP for class 34b Ford Mustang 1967-1970 and 36i Factory High Performance Ford 1970-1980? Thanks again for your help.
  2. Guy's - I hate to open this post again, But I recently attended a car show where I happened to sit with a Team Caption AACA judge. My car was on display and he was aware that the car was a recreation. He gave me the strong impression that the car would simply be disqualified from being judged. I have re-read the AACA judge book and this is really open for intrepritation as to how AACA judges cars. The way I read the book, if the car "COULD HAVE" come from the factory the way the car is being presented, then it's OK to be judged. So a couple of questions: 1. If the car is put into the HI Performance class, and was not a hi performance car per the VIN in 1970, what happens? is the car disqualified? 2. What's to prevent me from putting the car in the standard Mustang class? The only discrpency would be the motor in the car (per the VIN again) - is it disqualified because the motor is different? or is that simply a points deduction? I'd hate to take the car all the way to Hershey and not have it judged. Thanks.
  3. I do enjoy the car...love taking her out for a nice cruise....go to weekend shows, cruise nights etc.... I just want a serious judge to judge the car - that's all....nearly everything on the car is original or NOS. every detail from the factory assembly line is there - right down to very specific markings on the under carriage that were present in 1970 from bolting the unibody to the assembly line. Again, i don;t view the car as a clone but a recreation that matches the original in every way except for the vin.
  4. 1935hd45 - the car is clearly barrett jackson quality..hands down.
  5. Well, I joind AACA anyway...i'm not here to defraud anyone or claim I have something that I don't. Just looking to make friends that enjoy the hobby as much as I do - and hope that I can have the car judged for it's quality and the fact that everything, 100% of the car, is original for the model year. 80+% of the chrome is replated original or NOS. The motor is all date code correct and part# matching - right down to the last pully and braket on the motor. Yes, I spent more on this car then an original is worth, but hey, what the heck, like I said, it was the first car I purchased. How many people can say they have the first car they purchased and in the condition that I have mine? : )
  6. The question is, can the car be entered and judged in an AACA event. I am not here to mislead anyone, but would like the car judged as if it were authentic.
  7. Hello. Could not help but to read this thread and post a comment. I have been reading about AACA and am considering joining the club. Mainly because I want my 1970 muscle car judged by an experienced person that knows the car and the options that were available in 1970. The car is a recreation as I would call it (or clone as you may put it), and I have no problem indicating the car as such. However, the car was restored to exact factory specifications as though the car were manufactured in 1970. It has all correct original parts and is a truely exact replica concorse restoration. Why did i do this and not simply buy the real deal? because the car has been owned by me since 1988 when I was 17. It is the first car that I ever purchased. The car has sentimental value beyond simply knowing that I have the real thing or not. Would I ever re-vin the car? never. The VIN on this car clearly indicates it is a replica. Should I be disallowed as a club member and denyed the privledge of having the car judged?? I'm interested in your opinion. BTW - The car would put 90+% of the real deal to shame in quality of restoration and craftsman ship.
